About this podcast

Steven's wife is unexpectedly pregnant, and now he has 9 months to prepare to be a dad. With the help of his very-much-NOT-expecting buddy, Jake, the two bring on parents, friends, and experts to teach Steven everything he needs to know before he becoming a father. Whether you're also expecting, are a parent of 30 years, or aren't planning on having kids, this our show offers a healthy dose of levity with a pinch of sincerity to the turbulent, beautiful, and chaotic world of being a parent!Steven and Jake make up the comedy duo, "Just Let Me Help." They've been changing the lives of tens of tens of people on YouTube, and are hoping to use Steven's unplanned pregnancy to take over the internet. Subscribe to help JLMH become the next Google.
